In the 1890s, Cuba wanted to get their freedom from Spain. People like Jose Marti petitioned Americans to side with the Cubans and the poor treatment they were receiving from Spain. Also, there was a lot of support in the newspapers called "yellow journalism" where American people were sympathizing with the cause to go against Spain in war. This especially was true with a man nicknamed "The Butcher", Valeriano Weyler, who was a military leader from Spain placed in Cuba to put people in concentration camps.
As a result, America felt a strong sense of patriotism and business reasons to go to war with Spain. After the <em>USS Maine</em> exploded, the United States declared war on Spain.
A similar situation happened in the Philippines, where Spain had a high influence and America did want to free the Philippines from Spain, but then also had their own agenda to take over the Philippines, as it was in a strategic location in the Pacific for trade.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not specify what war you are talking about. Trying to help you we are going to assume that you are talking about World War I.
In addition to fighting in the army, European colonies contributed to the war effort in that these colonies sent supplies and food to the war front in Europe.
European superpowers had colonies in Africa, India, and Asia, places where there were plenty of natural resources and raw materials that were much needed by European countries during World War I. Great Britain and France were the European countries that used most soldiers from their colonies after many white troops were killed on the battlefield.
